1.

Water and Vinegar – A safe mixture of water and vinegar can prove to be very beneficial removing urine. Take a cup of some cool water and a tablespoon of distilled white vinegar per cup to negate the odor. You may also use this solution to dampen the area and blot around the accident. Try your best to keep doing this until the water and vinegar solution is absorbed as well as the liquid from the accident.

If there are still remnants of the stain present and the water and vinegar solution doesn’t take care of the stain we recommend you trying something a bit stronger. You can try this mixture:

One quart of 3% Hydrogen Peroxide, One teaspoon of liquid soap, quarter cup of baking soda

Its important to test the solution on a small portion of your rug before applying it to the stain. In certain materials it could cause colors to fade, after letting the solution set for a few minutes and everything looks fine you may apply it to the problem area. As always be sure to clean the solution up with clear water after treating the stained area.
